High-ranking UN officials and representatives from various nations attended the celebrations, demonstrating the Arabic language's significance on the global stage and the keen interest of many countries in its cultural implications. This gathering provided a platform for fostering international cooperation in promoting languages as instruments of peace and mutual understanding.

These events align closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to strengthen cultural identity while promoting intercultural dialogue.
